"McDaniels's tenure with the Broncos was marred early on by a controversy involving an alleged trade offer from the Patriots involving the team's quarterback, Jay Cutler, which would have sent Matt Cassel to Denver. On March 9, 2009, according to ESPN, a conference call involving McDaniels, team owner Pat Bowlen and Cutler failed to resolve the issues. Cutler said he did not trust McDaniels and the organization following the trade controversy.[12] On April 2, 2009, the Broncos traded Cutler and a 2009 fifth-round draft pick to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Kyle Orton, first- and third-round picks in 2009 and a first-round pick in 2010.

Videotaping scandal
Further information: 2010 Denver Broncos season § Videotaping scandal"On November 27, The Denver Post reported the Broncos were under investigation from the NFL, after it was reported that Steve Scarnecchia, the team's director of video operations hired by McDaniels in 2009, videotaped a San Francisco 49ers' walkthrough practice, during the teams' Week 8 game at Wembley Stadium in London, England.[13]"
"The same day, the NFL fined the Broncos and McDaniels $50,000 each, and Scarnecchia was fired as a result of the incident. Scarnecchia told NFL investigators he acted alone and "knew it was wrong" to tape the walkthrough practice, after the rest of the Broncos' staff had left the stadium. Scarnecchia later presented McDaniels with the six-minute video, but McDaniels declined to view it, and it was not shown to any other Broncos staff member, and therefore the NFL determined the Broncos had not gained a competitive advantage from it. An anonymous source alerted the Broncos on November 8, who conducted an internal investigation before alerting the NFL. NFL Security then began its investigation, which included a forensic analysis of the computer from which the recording was later deleted by Scarnecchia.[14] Both the NFL and the Broncos determined that McDaniels knew nothing about the incident.[15]"
"However, the NFL fined McDaniels due to the fact that he did not immediately report the incident to the league office, as required by policy. The NFL also fined the Broncos, as "clubs are ultimately accountable for the conduct of their employees."[14]"
"According to The Denver Post, the videotaping incident was a major factor in McDaniels' firing a week later; while the Broncos did not deem it something that merited being fired for cause, they considered his failure to report the incident "unforgivable."[15]"

With that endorsement....between the two of them.....I am in favor of McDaniels. I mean, you are going somewhat on the fact that McDaniels wanted to trade Jay Cutler.....and that Cutler didn't "trust" McDaniel after that? Sorry, but that makes me favor McDaniel in that situation. As for the taping issue, its typical.....

Call me crazy, but Tony Romo hinted it and I’ve felt the same way. Josh McDaniels is a northeast Ohio guy, went to John Carroll. He’s been interested in coaching the Browns for years, we just never gave him an interview. Now we are, and according to sources the Haslams want him, so the job is his if he wants it.
You heard Romo, Brady isn’t done. But he’s done with the Patriots, and is an unrestricted free agent. What did Tony Romo day? He needs help... Hmmm two 1,000 yard receivers and two Top 5 running backs sounds like help to me.
McDaniels wanted Baker in the draft. In fact, he was lobbying to trade up to #2 in the 2018 draft if we didn’t take Baker. His offense is complex though, and Baker needs to mature.
In comes Tom Brady for one more year with McDaniels, while Baker learns the offense.
Call me crazy, just watch.

And BB was fired by...the Ravens actually. What then: Super Bowl winner.
And Mike Shanahan was fired by the Raiders. What then: Super Bowl winner
As was John Gruden: What then: Super Bowl winner.
I expect that 50% of all Super Bowl winning HCs may have been fired by some other team.
That said, I would like to see the Vikes win today.

Patriots Aufed. Tom Brady a free agent... could he return? Could the Offensive brain trust of the Pats for almost the last 20 years be a done deal? Brady/McDaniels?
Stay tuned.
Happy days here Gipper. Watching that game brought up some memories... Except for some fluke plays the Browns should have beaten the Patriots. Henry ran all over them. Chubb was on track to do the same, except he got stripped on the big run. Then a "self fumble" having our OL kick the ball out of his hands. Baker does the hand off to New England. Game over. The Patriots aren't good enough anymore to beat a team playing error free football with a solid running game.
Tom is as good as his offensive line- which is still incredible in pass protection. And a mighty good reason why he's not coming to Cleveland. Nah- I think Brady will stay in New England as long as he thinks he still want to play. Bob "Tom is like a son to me" Kraft will make sure of it.

Yet you can't name one of of his OL and ones that leave NE in FA... think Nate Solder... more often than not flop for their new teams. Why is that?
Brady sets his own line protection... is still nimble in the pocket... and still gets the ball out as quickly as any QB in the league. The rest is coaching. McD would have to promote Scarneccia to hire him away from the Pats, but it's be worth it to get him to come.
Lemme ask you something, how many Super Bowls has Belichick won without McDaniels? The answer is 0.
Not saying McDaniels is the sole reason...
Hope not since in 2001 McD was a mere "Personnel Assistant"...
I think the Haslams want him bad. Like PoG/Saquon bad.
That's twice you've gone fishing with that bait... maybe three is a charm.

If he couldn't accept the GOAT starting ahead of him, then that's on him.

Because they're not actually good, they just never get called for holding because they play for the Pats. How many times have you seen Brady standing there forever and no one can get near him? And how many holding calls does his o-line get? Zero. Yet when they leave NE they turn into regular linemen. Must be a coincidence...

speaking of favoritism.... watching the Eagles play the Seahawks...
Wentz gets speared helmet to helmet and leaves the game. no call.
later, a defensive player Seahawks was it? shoves the Eagles back up qb to the ground after the play....
no call. Apparently, the refs are "letting them play". But does anyone believe if it were the Browns in the playoffs, and a couple of Browns players did exactly the same thing...it would be ok, too? They would be flagged/ejected/suspended/fined...whatever.
I don't get it. Ogunjobi got suspended for a game for a shove of a player to the ground after a play was over.

Because they're not actually good,
Just copied the part you got right...
Individually they are not talented, but as a unit the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.
Every OL who engages a defender without throwing on them holds on every play... it's just a matter of whether they do it right. And right is defined by two things:
- Their hands are inside the frame of the defender, and
- The instant the defender tries to pull away they let go.
The second is the hardest thing to teach, but if you emphasize it in every practice and each individual learns that either one of his fellow OL will be there to cover for him, then they learn. Just need the right teacher.... and that's where Scarnecci comes in.
During his brief retirement Offensive Holding calls more than doubled. League average is around 23 per team per season and varies very little season to season. Pats had 30 in 2016 tying then for 3rd most (so much for conspiracy theories)... just finished with a 2nd best 13 this season.

Apples and oranges, cal... Ogun did it in the context of a fight when the refs were trying to gain control of an escalating situation.
The Wentz hit? I think it had a lot to do with the fact that Clowney was heading (no pun intended) in the same direction as Carson. In real time it did not look like a violent play. In slo-mo it looked more so... I expect Clowney will get a letter.

In my opinion, to reference a 20 game sample to indicate that BB is THE reason that NE is great is asinine.
That year of Cassel, although a good record resulted in no playoffs.
14-6 is 70%. Respectable for sure, better than most.
249-75 including playoffs. Or .769. And if you want to go Regular season, that is 219-64. Which is .774. And that is 30-11 in the playoffs, which is a .732 in the playoffs, you know against the best teams in the league. Which is 3.2% higher record than without.
To say TB12 isn't/wasn't a big reason for the Patriots success is ridiculous. Brady has more than TWICE the number of playoff wins than ANY quarterback not named Montana. And Joe is 1 win above above twice.

got it, except, the nfl said the suspension was because Ogunjobi "might have re-escalated"...
and the other "could have escalated" into an all out brawl. But I get your point.

There's no doubt that TB12 was a major factor in the sustained greatness of the Pats 20-year run. There were seasons where they just flat outscored people like 2007 when Tom threw 50 TDs, but there were also seasons when they won with strong D, a running game and Game Manager TB at QB, e.g., 2003 and 2016.
In fact there were more seasons where Tom QB'd a Top 5 Offense (11) than the Pats fielded a Top 5 D (8). And while of their 6 SB wins only one came when they were not top 5 on at least one side of the ball, two wins came with only a Top 5 Offense, one with only a Top 5 Defense and two with Top 5 on both sides.
Also interesting is that out of the 6 SB seasons Tom was PFR's top AV (Approximate Value) Patriot 3 times. The other three times the top AV was a defender... Troy Brown, Ty Law and Dont'a Hightower.
Bottom line: I don't think either has to take a backseat to the other... plenty of room up front.
